Probably the same reason they rather have wifi/5G in the stadium rather than a dial up modem to share. It looks hilariously dated (imo of course) Edited June 1 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 1 hour ago, Captain_Townsend said: The N in Aston....I mean, would it have been difficult to centre the name Short answer: Yes! Medium-length answer .... the letters would require awkward parsing as the letters are not equally wide (or whatever the technical term is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 1 hour ago, Captain_Townsend said: The N in Aston....I mean, would it have been difficult to centre the name Last year's round badge and our 1982 badge have the same issue. Yet I can't recall the same outrage about them. Aligning the two As is far more important and as Aston and Villa are different widths due to the shape of the letters - if the N and V are aligned to the centre then either the As won't be aligned or you have to increase the space between the letters in Villa - which would just look odd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Wondering if the release comes on Monday? It dawned on me the club are very much trying to manage narrative these days. So season tickets go on sale and a few grumbles about increase and especially concessions... but wait, look over here, shiny new kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I wonder if the club will also release a blank out version of this seasons shirt … Just been reading they’ve released the 90 & 96 season shirts all in white … Quote 1990 Aston Villa Blank-Out Shirt The new Aston Villa 1990 blank out shirt is based on the home shirt worn back in 1990 but is predominantly white including the Aston Villa badge on the left breast and the Mita Copiers shirt sponsor in the centre of the front. https://www.thekitman.co.uk/retro-aston-villa-90s-blank-out-shirts-released/ available on our shop which says is still hosted by fanatics … https://shop.avfc.co.uk/en/aston-villa-retro/t-20090815+d-0138328575+z-93-2426831238 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Funnily enough guess the other PL badge which contains a drop shadow? Chelsea! FWIW I don’t mind the drop shadow. Makes the gold lion less washed out with the blue background and I don’t think a claret lion really works as claret in our badge just disappears on the kit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that every fan instantly recognises Would you not like to buy a blanked out version so that no one can tell what it is? It's bizarre That said I don't mind it so much for new kits as it's hiding the sponsor but for retro kits it makes zero sense to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
